Victoria places #2 among the top 20 small cities in latest Condé Nast Readers’ Choice awards

Greater Victoria has officially taken its place among the greatest small cities in the world. The latest Condé Nast Readers’ Choice awards were announced today and Victoria placed second among the top 20 small cities outside the U.S. This is an impressive accomplishment for Greater Victoria as our destination continues to punch above its weight to stand shoulder to shoulder with some legendary locations.

“This result is straight from readers of one of the world’s leading travel magazines,” says Paul Nursey, President and CEO of Tourism Victoria. “This is proof positive that Greater Victoria’s transformation from a quaint and charming regional destination to a world leading experiential destination is complete.”
